Houston/Katy native, Chase West is no stranger to politics. He became interested in the political process at the age of 8, engaging in political debates at school and watching current events unfold that would change the state, country, and world forever. He voted in his first election at 18 and was overtaken with pride at the idea of his voice counting. Chase has never been one to back down from political discourse, but has the unique ability to empathetically see many sides to any given argument and remains close friends with Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents alike without the use of personal attacks or mudslinging.
